The United States has imposed sanctions on more than 60 individuals, companies, and vessels linked to Iran's nuclear and missile programs, oil revenues, cyber operations, and shipping networks, according to a review by the Jerusalem Center for Foreign and Security Affairs.

The United States has imposed sanctions on more than 60 individuals, companies, and vessels tied to Iran's nuclear and ballistic missile programs, oil revenue generation, cyber activities, and shipping and brokerage networks, according to a review by the Iran Desk of the Jerusalem Center for Foreign and Security Affairs.
The expansion also targets any foreign entity continuing to do business with Tehran, broadening secondary sanctions that allow Washington to pressure foreign companies by threatening to cut off access to U.S. banks, the dollar, and the American market. Major Chinese banks were not included in this round, according to the review.
The announcement follows a series of U.S. moves to ratchet up economic pressure on Iran, as reported by The Zioneer. Earlier this month, the Treasury canceled all prior authorizations for Iranian oil exports, and President Trump has repeatedly signaled an aggressive stance on Iran's economy. The latest sanctions aim to further constrict the regime's hard currency revenue, limiting its ability to fund regional proxies and military programs.
